Somebody PLEASE pass this on to the GSDCA Board (or tell me who to email it
to). We CANNOT allow the National to be anywhere near Louisville.

Always be yourself, because the people that matter don't mind and the people
that mind don't matter.

After 10 hours of unproductive banter, one of the country's toughest
animal control ordinances pasted at 4:10 AM Wednesday.
Yes, I was there for the entire Louisville Metro Council meeting. And, am
too upset to go to sleep.
Yes, I have tears in my eyes as I am writing this.
On a personal note - I will only be legally allowed 3 animals -- dogs
and/or cats -- for my lot size. If you have at least an half acre, you can
have 5 dogs/cats. There are several options for kennel licenses. But, that
will be prohibitive in a neighborhood.
I must purchase a permit to be allowed to purchase a license for my
unaltered dog -- as I will only be allowed to have ONE unaltered animal.
If my unaltered dog gets loose or picked up by animal control for ANY
reason -- including bothering my neighbors for just being a dog -- 2
anonymous complaints = pick up -- I will be required by law to have him
neutered upon release -- after a hefty fine.
Unlicensed animals carry a $250.00 per dog fine along with having to be
spayed/neutered.
I will be required to have a 6' fence.
NO unaltered dog can be on a leash longer then 4 feet.
If I have ONE litter of puppies and/or sell ONE dog in a year, I will need
a $300.00 broker license.
NO bitch in season can come in contact with ANY other dogs/cats even if
spayed or neutered.
There are 96 pages of this.
Metro Councilman Donard had 89 amendments to clarify vague language and to
support the dog fancy in all aspects in just the first 30 pages. He was
voted down 87 times on straight party lines. I am not being partisan - I
was there and counted the voting. The Republicans fought for dog owners. It
was an automatic NO by the controlling Democrats.
I attended many of the committee meetings over the past year. I am sick by
what I witnessed tonight/morning.
Think hard before you decide to support the Louisville community by
attending the March dog shows.
